Iran signs for 118 Airbus aircraft, including 12 A380s | Airframes content from ATWOnline

Great to see more A380's ordered! Iran is really going all out on new aircraft...hell they still have a 747SP (my favorite jet airliner).

Also great to see more A350's, it is turning out to be a really well built plane, hasn't had any of the problems the 787 had.

Airbus announced Jan. 28 it has signed agreements with Iran for 118 new aircraft and for pilot training, airport operations and ATM support services.

The Airbus agreements, signed in Paris, cover 21 A320ceos, 24 A320neos, 27 A330ceos, 18 A330-900 neos, 16 A350-1000s and 12 A380s for Iran Air.
 
Back in the old days when you could fly there from JFK:



I worked with a guy that used to work for Pan Am, he would do Tehran flights all the time, said it was a beautiful place.
 
Here is a pic of the last time I rode an A380. I got to admit it was the smoothest ride ever. I'm a proud fan of Boeing since its American but this Airbus plane just wowed me.

I haven't had the chance to do the A380 or the 787 yet, I used to fly trans pacific all the time....

But, I got on a few hard to find planes, IL 62M, Tu 154, Tu 134, L1011, MD11, 747SP, BAE 146, Fokker F28, F70, 737-100, RC135 (airborne refueler 707 body)

I need to do A380, 787, A350, 757-300. My airline just started flying 787, I need to do an Auckland trip or a Hong Kong trip (if there is ever space available)
